Jim Partridge and Liz Walmsley Shelving Unit, UK, 1987

About the Item

Jim Partridge (1953-) and Liz Walmsley (1952-) started collaborating in 1986. Carved from blocks of green oak and then stained in a white finish, the shelving unit’s light tone yet solid aesthetic follows their intention to make “work with a strong but quiet presence in the landscape.”
